Eagles Rule Jonathan Greenard Out Against Jaguars in London

Philadelphia will face Jacksonville at Tottenham Hotspur Stadium in London without edge rusher Jonathan Greenard, who was ruled inactive after an ankle injury prevented him from practicing throughout the week. The Eagles had listed the 29-year-old as questionable before the game, following his injury against the Los Angeles Rams the previous week. Greenard's absence extends a challenging start to his season.

He missed the first two weeks while recovering from a pectoral strain sustained before training camp, then played limited snaps against the Chicago Bears in Week 3 before injuring his ankle against the Rams, according to the source report. Before the Jacksonville matchup, Greenard underwent a workout in front of team trainers and Howie Roseman, the Eagles' general manager. However, the evaluation did not result in clearance to play, leaving Philadelphia without the edge rusher for the London contest.

The Eagles also face significant changes along the offensive line. Right tackle Lane Johnson remains on the 53-man roster despite his retirement, while Cam Jurgens has been traded to Baltimore and Kendall is unavailable for this game, according to the source report.

Philadelphia has not officially placed Johnson on the reserve/retired list. The report says the team expects him to remain on the 53-man roster for the rest of the season, although a return to action is not expected. Keeping him on the roster through June would provide a salary-cap benefit, according to the report.

Jake Majors and running back Carson Steele are active after signing to the 53-man roster on Friday. Tight end Zach Ertz and offensive lineman John Ojukwu are also available after being elevated from the practice squad on Saturday.

The expected starting offensive line against Jacksonville, listed from left to right in the source report, consists of Jordan Mailata, Willie Lampkin, Jake Major, Tyler Steen and Markel Bell. Fred Johnson, Micah Morris and Ojukwu are listed as the backups. The lineup changes leave Philadelphia relying on a reshaped offensive front while Greenard remains sidelined. His absence follows a season-opening pectoral injury and the ankle problem sustained against the Rams, limiting his participation to a brief appearance against Chicago before the London game.
